Described as ” a plant based ragu to end all others ” I can assure you this vegan recipe will not disappoint. The ragu will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for a month. It can be served with pasta or polenta, or used as a base for lasagne or shepherds pie ( for the latter cook a bit less as it will cook more in the oven.) The recipe is from ” Ottolenghi Flavour” by Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage.
A very good way to serve courgettes from ” Ottolenghi Flavour ” by Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage. They can be served as a side dish or as part of a mezze. They are very good hot but even better after 15 minutes or so or at room temperature as the flavours have a chance to meld.
I recently spent a week in Armenia and was pleasantly surprised by the food there- especially when eating in family ” restaurants” in local villages. I came home seeking out Armenian recipes so i could try more of their food back in the UK. This is from ” Home Food” by Olia Hercules.
An easy recipe from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage. You can serve it alongside some tofu, roast chicken or grilled fish or prawns. For a quick midweek dinner serve topped with a fried egg.
I only discovered how delicious and ” meaty” roast oyster mushrooms are when i started cooking from ” Mezcla” from Ixta Belfrage. Here’s a second recipe for them from her book.
I love this recipe for baked Halloumi from “Bazaar” by Sabrina Ghayour. She suggests serving it with bread, but I like to serve it on top of some puy lentils. I recently added some fried shitake mushrooms to the lentils and that worked well too.
